Electronic trading major Interactive Brokers has expanded IBKR Connector with new tools and capabilities to help traders manage and create watchlists.

This includes:

• Create new watchlists
• Add or remove symbols from existing watchlists
• View all symbols within a watchlist
• View a list of all your watchlists.

Also, users can now create instructions for option + option combo strategies using GenAI. Simply describe your options trading strategy in natural language, and GenAI can help identify options that match your criteria. Instructions created will appear in your IBKR platform of choice for you to confirm and convert into live orders.

IBKR clients can connect their accounts to supported AI platforms, such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok, through the IBKR connector available in each platform’s app store or integration marketplace.

Once connected, users can ask questions in natural language and receive personalized responses based on their account data. For example:

• “What’s my P&L today?”
• “The market is volatile. How can I make my portfolio more defensive?”

The AI platform uses information from the connected IBKR account to provide relevant insights and responses, leveraging the capabilities of the user’s chosen large language model (LLM). This enables clients to interact with their account data conversationally and access information more efficiently.
